C is arguably the world's most successful programming language. Its success has, of course, endlessly tempted people to improve upon it. Thus, C is probably the patriarch of the longest list of languages. Notable among these are C++, the D programming language, and most recently, Go. There are endless discussion threads on how to fix C, going back to the 80's.

Just about everything is so so in C, syntax, strings, etc.
But C is an advanced assembly language, we are used to it and it is available everywhere.
